Collins’ commit to Missouri makes him the first of the 2018 recruiting class. The 3 star prospect from Bradenton, Fla. is the 85th ranked defensive back in the country.
At 5′ 11″ and 165 lbs, Collins has shown that he can be a playmaker both in the secondary and against the run. He’s also earned his stripes on special teams, converting many returns into touchdowns.
Collins is not the prototypically-sized prospect that head coach Barry Odom, or many coaches, typically seek in a defensive back, but Collins’ playmaking abilities supersede questions about his size.
